The woman behind Bernie Sanders' mittens - BBC News

You've probably seen these famous mittens by now, as worn by Senator Bernie Sanders at Joe Biden's inauguration.

The woman who made them, Jen Ellis, has since received thousands of orders for mittens of the same design.

She is now making special pairs to auction off for charity.

I applaud the BBC for giving this woman the fame she deserves! Of course the Corporate media in the US didn't think she deserves any airtime because she's a simple working class person and left her out because it wouldn't be profitable for them to give her credit for all the Bernie memes. So once again, thank you BBC!
